And you might be like, okay, this is the, if I don't go with him, that's the last

boat off the island.

I'm going to be stuck here single forever, you know?

We can get rid of those thoughts and say, no, that's not what it's about.

right now, this day, this community, the friends, the church, the school, whatever it is,

I can live to know God, to tell others about him.

I can have deep relationship with him.

And I am 100% fulfilling my purpose as a daughter of God.
